MAINTENANCE
Turbodisk 2 - Maintenance
20
GENERAL
Verify daily that the operating parameters have
not varied dramatically. A sudden change or even
a gradual decay in performance could be early
indications of component failure.
Normal maintenance procedures should be
established and recorded at the initial start-up. All
maintenance schedules are subject to variation
based on use. Periodically review these maintenance
schedules as equipment ages and needs change.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
In addition to the above Warning, which relates to
potential safety hazards, the following information
must be observed to prevent damage to the
equipment.
W A R N I N G
> Electrical shock and fire hazards can exist
during maintenance. The power supply must be
turned off before entering the spray area. Spray
booth fans should remain on while cleaning
with solvents.
> Never touch the disk atomizer while it is
spinning. The edge of the disk can easily cut into
human skin, gloves or other materials. Be sure the
disk atomizer has completely stopped spinning
before attempting to touch it. Approximate time
for the disk to stop spinning after turning off the
drive air is about three minutes.
!
> Do not immerse the Turbodisk 2 assembly
in solvent or other liquids. Turbine components
will be damaged.
> Do not soak the disk in solvent longer than
24 hours.
C A U T I O N
!
> Solvent flushing of the system (except
during color change) should be done with
the disk dismounted and with waste solvent
collected in a grounded container.
NOTE
Internal Fluid Path Cleaning
With the high voltage turned off and the disk spinning,
flush cleaning solvent through the incoming paint
line or through the solvent inlet line. If it is desired to
clean just the face of the disk off, flush solvent through
the solvent inlet. If a color change is required, flush
the entire system. The spinning disk will atomize the
solvent and clean out the disk passages. If equipped,
trigger the dump valve to catch the wasted paint from
the incoming line, then flush the disk with solvent
after closing the dump valve.
